Windows 7: BSOD - "ntkrnlmp.exe" and "ntoskrnl.exe" are the cause

Hello all, a friend was helping me to find out what this BSOD all of a sudden was from but he is out of the country now away on business.

We got the point of him looking at the crash files and us using WhoCrashed, and we found that the last handful of crashes I have are all caused by "ntkrnlmp.exe" and "ntoskrnl". We tried each of my parts in his computer's and they all worked fine. We also have tried running Memtest and he tested the Hard drive. One thing we did not do is try a different bios.

I have no idea how to fix this, my friend and the program say it is a software/driver issue. How would I go about fixing a BSOD that is being caused by "ntkrnlmp.exe and ntoskrnl"? (They are the only causes that show up). I am just now running the sevenforums program, will post it when its done.

The computer is running wonderful, except sometimes when I go away ill come back and the computer is shutdown (rather than sleep mode), then I get the BSOD system has had an issue thing. The last crash dumps have been the names above.

1. open the control panel
2. go to power options (you may have to set view to small icons)
3. click change plan settings
4. in the window that opens:
5. click change plan settings
6. click change advanced power settings, expand usb and ensure usb selective suspend is disabled.

I just cleaned up the start up stuff as listed and also uninstalled Avira. I already have malwarebytes installed and did a scan a few days ago came up with nothing. Just downloaded MSE and am doing a scan now.

Oh my I feel silly now haha, thank you very much for the kind help mam
MSE just finished updating and doing a scan and it says "No Threats were detected on your PC" and I also made it so I have barely anything starting with windows. Also checked for updates for few updates for programs I use with filehippo (what a site! Thanks for sending me that way). I will post again when I have finished a few other things. Once again thanks a ton for the kind help.

BSOD - "ntkrnlmp.exe" and "ntoskrnl.exe" are the cause

"Random" BSODs. Sometimes ntkrnlmp.exe but mostly ntoskrnl.exeHello, all. I don't have much experience diagnosing these issues; fortunately all my machines current and past have been solid. Unfortunately the machine I put together for work is BSODing with no pattern I can recognize -- sometimes she'll run fine for a few weeks other times she'll crash a few...

Remaking "My Music", "My Pictures", "My Videos" foldershi,
OK, this is a weird one.
I wanted to move the "My Music", "My Pictures", "My Videos" folders to another HDD. I moved the "My Documents" Folder to this HDD without a problem but the others I accidentally set the whole HDD as the folder (if that makes sense). So now the music, videos and...
